Considering the time and initial expense involved she could probably buy MP3 versions of the recordings from Amazon for less and end up with vastly better results than that recording if she followed your advice.

You need a good TT setup if you want to approach CD quality, and then you will have to deal with the noise issues on the vinyl. So unless there are some recordings of particular merit that can't be sourced digitally then consider selling the vinyl and purchasing the digital equivalents - or renting them if you use iTunes...

I've got most of the music on my iTunes anyway, I just wanted to have some as vinyl as well so I could mess about with them and maybe turn them into something a bit cool, it was just a little idea.

I borrowed a turntable and speakers from parents if my flatmate, they sound pretty cool . But I've not got any money really to be buying amps and I didn't really want all that stuff. Most if my music I listen to on a pair of £5 computer speakers or cheap tesco ear phones anyway!!
